Dirty Sexy Player by Laurelin Paige
4.0
Laurelin Paige is fast becoming one of my go-to authors for really good contemporary romance ever since reading Porn Star (which she co-wrote with Sierra Simone) last year, and then reading a couple of her solo works. I haven't delved into her older stuff and I had hoped to read Dirty Filthy Rich Men and Dirty Filthy Rich Love prior to reading Dirty Sexy Player but alas I couldn't find the time.
Dirty Sexy Player is a spin-off of Dirty Filthy Rich Men and Dirty Filthy Rich Love duo and, from what I could tell, the both books occur in the same timeline. But, Dirty Sexy Player was the story of Weston King, Mr. Dirty Sexy Player himself, and rich girl Elizabeth Dyson, who needed a husband to inherit her late father's company sooner rather than when she's 29.
Wes and Elizabeth have to sell their fake engagement like it's 100% real and that's easier said than done because the two of them don't exactly get along. They also decided that sex is off the table so as not to make things complicated, but for a player like Wes, a sex drought goes against his nature. It doesn't help that his sexy and smart though very frustrating fake fiancee gives him boner every time she's near.
I knew I was going to enjoy Dirty Sexy Player and I was right. Ms. Paige delivered a brilliant, sexy, and deliciously dirty fake engagement story. Weston was a lot of fun--he's flirty and charming and even though he's a total ladies man he's very likable. Elizabeth was more reserved and was trying to prove, especially to herself, that she's capable of taking over her father's company. There was a lot of bickering between Wes and Elizabeth and goading each other. Sometimes it's fun because it's laced with sexual attraction, but other times I just wanted to reach in and shake the two of them. Also, constant uncertainty about each other and themselves plague this couple, but I enjoyed the push and pull of Wes and Elizabeth's relationship for the most part.
The story ended in a bit of a cliff-hanger, but book 2 will be out in November so not too long of a wait. I am every excited to get my hands on it and read Wes and Elizabeth's HEA. If you're a fan of Dirty Filthy Rich Men and Dirty Filthy Rich Love you need to read Weston King's story. But, you don't need to read those books to enjoy Dirty Sexy Player as it stands very much on its own--if you're looking for a fun and sexy fake engagement story, pick up Dirty Sexy Player.
